...and his vision of Battlestar Galactica. He's taking this (and himself, and the show) waaaay too damn seriously, what with the not-so-fracking-subtle parallels to the war in Iraq (don't tell me
you didn't see it. May as well have shoved it down your throat.), to the downright rape and desecration of the Starbuck character (awwwww, its a girl! Wait, I'll stop being a hardcore space-marine bitch and turn soft and love my Cylon captor in this one episode.....*vomit*)
What. The. Frack. Ron.
Take your Star Trek circle-jerk fantasy "I'm too heady for this show" crap somewhere else, Ronnie. You've overstepped the bounds, taken things to a whole new level. The whole "wild west" / Baghdad New Caprica thing was a big mistake. Big. Jump the shark big.
I am sorely disappointed, Ron. Between the fiasco that is New Caprica to the abomination of Apollo-Fat-Ass aboard the Pegasus.... I really don't recognize this... this thing that I once knew as Battlestar Galactica. You did this on purpose. You screwed with the two fracking
ICONS of BSG, Starbuck and Apollo and turned them into parodies of themselves. Why? So you could "redeem" them or "give them flaws" or some other nonsense "intelligent" crap? Bull.
At least we have Adama. At least you haven't strayed too far with respect to him. He's still the same hardcore Motherfracker that you introduced us to, even if he's feeling a bit guilty....
I want spaceships, red glowing eyes, explosions, three-man cylon raiders, and boots on the ground, bitch. What's next? Tyrell and Tigh getting it on in a homo-love-trist? The new "friendly" Boomer is really a psycho lesbian hose beast who preys on small children and pushes little old ladies out into traffic?
Here it is in one sentence: You're pushing the limits because you think you can. Because you think its "edgy" and "modern". Because sex and infighting and internal conflict is the last refuge of the inept story creators, the soap-opera the indicator of no-more-good-original-ideas, the single-most-reason modern Star Trek became the shambles it is now in. Because nobody is telling you, "No, Mr. Moore, I think that's a bad idea. No, Ron, that's not cool." You're getting Lucasitis, Ron. Go see the doctor. Now.
And to think that Hatch is on board with all of this makes me scratch my head in total confusion even more.
Get the fracking crew off the fracking planet, and get back to the mission, Ron. Find Earth. Fight Cylons. Stop your pedantic prostelytization and get back to it.
